We want to say a big thank you again to every single Lumenator that joined us. We couldn't have done it without you! #GreenSpaceDarkSkies may be over but give @walktheplank a follow as we've got lots of exciting plans to use our Geolights in innovative & fun ways going forward.

But in the meantime, from the whole team, we want to wish you a fabulous festive break. And if you get chance to venture outside for a winter walk this Christmas - take it! Being out in the UK's beautiful countryside is good for the soul ✨ #GreenSpaceDarkSkies

Our #GreenSpaceDarkSkies events have inspired many of our Lumenators to try something different, get outside & be more creative. In May we headed to Meldon Dam in @dartmoornpa. After the event one of our Lumenators Rhiannon shared a poem she had written about her experience...✨

"Standing on those steps at the end of the day I felt proud to have been a part of something so fresh & different in its approach. I was on a real high when I got home & the words of the poem, reflecting that moment of magic on the steps, came easily that night."

Did you join us at the start of our #GreenSpaceDarkSkies adventure & attend one of our events at Dinas Dinlle or Ilam Park? Our fab photographer @gazcook took some beautiful portraits of our Lumenators at these events, were you one of them? ✨📷

There is a growing body of evidence that tells us connecting with #WildPlaces improves our health and wellbeing. Now we're in the colder months of 2022 - we’d love to hear how you connect with nature in winter? Comment below!👇
